J. E. Montague was written by Rev. Father Melchior, 0. S.

of the faculty of St. Mary's College Belmont Abbey: Closing a life well service of of God death and his called fellow man. the angel Montague to the final justitiate early Christmas morning. In his death Gastonia suffers the loss of one of her most public spirited and, philantropic citizens. Mr.

Montague came here two years ago, as proprietor of the Falls House. Almost his entire life has been that of an Hostler; for, arriving in this State from the forty-five years ago, he has successfully managed the Orton House in Wilmington, the Hickory Inn, and the Virginia Shipp Hotel Newton. The Charlotte eulogistic editorial characterized" him as: "A hotel man of State wide reputation. The commercial travelers would throw down their grips in his house, put their names on his register and know that everything would be alright. No hotel man ever looked out more closely for the comfort and welfare of women and And this disposition to help his fellow-man was not confined to activity among his business relations alone, but was as broad as humanity.

John Montague was pre-eminently philanthropic, especially generous to the fatherless. Wherever he is known, the memory of his numerous donations to the orphan and the helpless poor will remain as an honor to the community. Just a little while before his death he made a handsome donation to the Catholic Orphanage at Belmont. Many will mourn the death of so good a man. Mr.

Montague had been ill for quite a long while and a short time ago sought relief and perhaps a cure in the sanatorium in Charlotte, but the ravages, of stomach disease and his fifty-eight years of ceaseless activity rendered medical science helpless. So on the anniversary of his Master's. birth, fortified with the Sacraments of the Catholic Church. he laid down his life in a happy eternity. We commemorated the advent of the giver of all good gifts into this world and with the same breath implored that Infant God to give eternal rest to the soul of the deceased.

The remains of Mr. Montague were taken to Belmont early on the morning of the 26th; a delegation of Knights of Columbus attending as pail-bearers. At half past eight a solemn requiem was sung in the Abbey Cathedral by Rev. Father Meichior. Immediately afterwards the V.

Rev. Father Felix, Vicar General of North Carolina, officiated at the buria! in the monastic cemetery. IN SOCIETY. ENTERTAINED AT DINNER TUESDAY. NEWS -Mr.
